Mankind is on the threshold of establishing it's first colonies on other stars. One company, GraviDynamics, has led the way with first their discovery of near instantaneous communications and now a star drive.
GraviDynamics has already launched a starship using it's proprietary interstellar drive pushing it to the Sun's nearest neighbor. This marks a major goal for the researchers but they still have one big problem. Contrary to the predictions of their models, their ships refuse to accelerate faster-than-lightspeed (FTL) and colonization, even at the speed of light, would require hundreds of years to travel to the nearest human-friendly stars. However, the scientists think they have a solution.
The researchers are convinced that the problem is in the design theory for their StarShip Drives and they only need to fine-tune the models. This presents another major problem since the tests must measure the universal constants of the universe at least 50 million years in the past or the future.
Nodal Convergence records the experiences of Mark Nolen, Matthew Zoeller and the 322 scientists, engineers, soldiers, women and children, explorers all, and their quest to propel mankind to the stars!
The research team and their security personnel use their Argos starship to set up a Cretaceous Era research station on the shores of a tropical inland sea in an area sixty-five million years in the past that today we call Texas.
The crew of the Argos discovers a tropical earth without seasons and of unexpected beauty. Surprises begin with their first steps on the vaguely familiar yet strange Earth of the Cretaceous. Then the discoveries being to quickly appear and even their early results suggest that the expense and risks of the expedition may be justified.
Then the humans encounter the dinosaurs. They are not the slow, leather covered, drudging reptiles of paleontology but the perfected product of a hundred million years of evolution.
The expedition discovers an ecology of unexpected beauty hiding a world of intense danger. An ecology filled with a vibrancy of life that will soon be lost in the tragic passing of an era through cataclysmic events. It is also a world filled with menace of a very alien intelligence that threatens their very existence.
Ironically, their experiments soon find that the seeds of one species extinction harbor an unanticipated opportunity for the ultimate survival and continued evolution of the human race … and perhaps others. If they can survive.
Nodal Convergence Cretaceous Station Book 1 eBook Terrence Zavecz
Cleverly written e-book about the human race's quest to discover travel at light speed by going back; way back, in time to the Cretaceous era via the big red spot in Jupiter. This book is not as complex as it may seem but actually tosses out some very interesting hypothesis on many a scientific subject. Seriously, just how many of us can even get a grip on how much the world can and has changed in 300 millon years? I cannot really get a grip on life 1,000 years ago much less multimillions of them. But, with that said, the desciption and references provided of the dinosaurs is amazing and thought provoking indeed! Book also provides some high power adventures and conflicts with the intelligent beasties of the eon. But the really mind bending concept comes at the end of the book when one of the scientist realizes the position of our solar system in Cretaceous time in relation to where we are located currently (2014) in our galaxy. I know this very well from an experience at the McDonald Observatory in Ft. Davis, Texas where one of the supervising Astronomers gave a detailed history of the position of the North Star 10,000 years ago and 25,000 years ago. Polaris has changed it's position in the heavens quiet a bit over that period of time. So, buckle your seat beat for near light speed travel, strap on your body armor for battles with large reptiles, and keep an open mind when you read this wonderful bigger than life safari sci-fi adventure story. By the way, ever wonder what the scientific community does discover when they dig up one of those prehistoric sites? Read and find out.Product details

Nodal Convergence Cretaceous Station Book 1 eBook Terrence Zavecz Reviews
This book is a "don't put it down" read.
The style of writing is different than any I have previously read. The research notes at the end of the chapters does not hinder the flow of the reading. In fact, it shows the author's ability to weave a good story around the facts with a new view of he subject.
Sometimes, when our current science can't immediately explain something, it is simply "written off" as an error. This book really gives science a run for it's money. It is a new way to connect the scientific dots.
I will be reading more of Terrence's works.
Loved the setting of this book, it was very entertaining!
TZ has written a novel that questions the carbon dates of many discoveries. It is to be determined whether or not humans existed before the dinosaurs. The items found indicated that humans head been around a long time. There were to many doors that were closed that had be reopened. This is an excellent for the genre.....ER
This was a very difficult read. Past and present were mixed up and editing was horrific.
The basic story was a good one and had promise that didn't deliver.
I could not seem to get invested in the characters nor the story.
At this time, I would not recommend this read unless it is edited without mercy.
I am just beginning this book, and while I love the premise and the imagination that the author shows, the mixing of present and past tenses--within the same paragraph, no flash backs or flash forwards--is very distracting to me. It needs some serious editing. I hope to finish reading it, because it promises a good story, but the tenses may get me. (
The story line was good enough to hold my attention despite the extreme difficulties caused by lack of grammatical proofreading. Mixed tenses in individual paragraphs. Doubled words. Dropped words and phrases. Near as I could tell there were surprisingly no spelling errors. Descriptions of dinosaurs and their behavior are not totally out of this world but are stretching paleontology and ecology and paleoclimate nearly to their breaking points. I'm no longer into physics enough to judge 'gravitonics' which is a primary mover in this story but I suspect it is stretching as taut as the paleontology/geology. Anyway . . . good enough story to keep going and actually enjoying. Insofar as reviewer references disliking the bibliographies and reference lists, that kind of thing is an acquired taste. It's just a novel so I did not double check validity of the references so don't know if he's blowing smoke or not.
This book is what I would call 'traditional' sci-fi - It takes a few extrapolations and builds the story around them rather than introducing marvelous things just to be marvelous. I like that.
The plot moves right along and makes sense in context. (I've seen others that do neither. One star for those.)
The most distinctive characteristic of the book (series) is there are chapter notes. These are left as exercises for the interested student. The author supplies a few paragraphs with each chapter describing what's accepted science, what's speculative, and what's totally made up. I enjoyed the notes, but I can imagine that others would be put off.
